Russell King says: ==================== Remove legacy phylink behaviour This series removes the - as far as I can tell - unreachable code in mtk_eth_soc that relies upon legacy phylink behaviour, and then removes the support in phylink for this legacy behaviour. Patch 1 removes the clocking configuration from mtk_eth_soc for non- TRGMII, non-serdes based interface modes, and disables those interface modes prior to phylink configuration. Patch 2 removes the mac_pcs_get_state() method from mtk_eth_soc which I believe is also not used - mtk_eth_soc appears not to be used with SFPs (which would use a kind of in-band mode) nor does any DT appear to specify in-band mode for any non-serdes based interface mode. With both of those dealt with, the kernel is now free of any driver relying on the phylink legacy mode. Therefore, patch 3 removes support for this. Finally, with the advent of a new driver being submitted today that makes use of state->speed in the mac_config() path, patch 4 ensures that any phylink_link_state member that should not be used in mac_config is either cleared or set to an invalid value. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZLw8DoRskRXLQK37@shell.armlinux.org.uk Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
